खरपोस्ता (kharapostA)

 
Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid
English
kharapostā, n. sg., n. of a yakṣa: Māy 〔33〕. See Lévi 〔74〕, who thinks-postā preserves a relative of Skt. pustaka, which acc. to Gauthiot, MSL 19 (1915). 〔130〕, was borrowed from Iranian pōst, skin
ass-skin is what at least one Chin. transl. renders
but there is some suggestion of a reading lomā (Skt. loman) instead of -postā.
